Celebrating Georgian Heritage | Sworders' Auction in Support of The Georgian Group
Sworders were delighted to partner with The Georgian Group for this special fundraising auction which raised £19,000. The Group are delighted by the results, which exceeded expectations and underlined the passion that people feel for this particularly precious part of our cultural inheritance.
Founded in 1937 in response to growing threats to Georgian architecture, proceeds from the auction will go directly towards The Group’s conservation and education initiatives, supporting their vital advisory role in protecting 18th- and early 19th-century buildings across Britain. Funds will also contribute to the refurbishment of the Group’s Fitzroy Square headquarters, and to nationwide outreach and educational programmes marking the charity’s 90th anniversary in 2027.
Curated by Sworders' Chairman, Guy Schooling, the sale featured items generously donated by Georgian Group members, collectors and institutions. Sworders waived all selling costs for the event – with no vendor’s commission and no buyer’s premium – ensuring that every pound raised will support The Georgian Group’s vital work.
